Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Novinger, MO.

One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Novinger battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low amounts the client does not experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
